Sideways Lace Workshop
$60 with Sivia Harding
Side-to-side crescent shaped shawlettes are great fun to knit, and provide an easy introduction to designing. You will choose between a few basic options to begin your crescent shape, then we explore side-to-side knitted lace edgings and choose one to showcase in your shawlette. We will discuss lace stitches, charts, and charting. This is a no-fail method of producing a striking and unique lace garment! Students receive the benefit of Sivia’s years of experience in designing innovative lace shawls and exceptional beaded lace. This workshop is the perfect blend of lace design skills, inspiration and discovery. (There will be a one-hour lunch break.)
